How can church communities in our time, in the saturated Western world, still reach people with the Gospel? The Catholic priest James Mallon from Halifax, Canada, faced the same question in his first parish after studying theology and began to search for answers: Which communities around the world are growing, what are they doing differently, how can people be led to a personal relationship with God, which beliefs need to be taught anew from the ground up? And above all: How can church members be developed from spiritual consumers into mature Christians with a willingness to follow? This is a challenging and immensely valuable book for all those engaged in passing on the faith.
